That the last three Imperial Provinces were under the governorships respectively of a Maṇidhānyaka (Viṣṇu) or a Maṇidhānyāja [a descendant of Maṇidhānya (Brahmāṇḍa)], Deva, and Guha is proved by the Viṣṇu’s treatment which makes them rulers respectively of these Provincial Governments. In the Vāyu and Brahmāṇḍa text which was here one and the same, they are all put in the accusative, the nominative being the Gupta-vamśajāḥ; the name of the sub-rulers are taken to be qualifying the provinces, viz. Maṇidhānyajān (Br.), Devarakṣitām [qualifying Champā], and Guhān [which survives in the Viṣṇu].
